The chiral Zn(II)–Na(I) coordination polymer: Synthesis, crystal structure, thermal and optical properties

Directed self-assembly of mono and dinuclear copper(ii) isophthalates into 1D polymeric structures. Design and an unusual cocrystallization

“…Design and synthesis of coordination polymers remains an active and important area in supramolecular chemistry and material science 1,2 due to the very wide structural diversity and interesting proprieties in magnetism, photoluminescence, porous materials and host-guest systems. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] During the past several decades, copper-organic chains have formed one of the largest subgroups of metal coordination complexes where benzene-multicarboxylates ligands have been extensively used as bridging ligands. [11][12][13] In the context of magnetic materials, Cu(II) coordination polymers have played an outstanding role, both in experimental and theoretical studies.…”

“…For example, coordination polymers containing transition metal ions such as copper(II) are suitable species for this purpose because exchange interactions between the unpaired spins of the metal ions may lead to non-trivial magnetic properties, while one more property (such as the rotation of polarized light) may be provided by the amino acid [14][15][16]. Therefore, the interest in these coordination polymers is caused by their potential applications in the generation of sorbing materials with non-trivial optical and catalytic properties [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25].…”

Four homochiral coordination polymers contain N-acetyl-L-tyrosine and different N-donor ligand: Influence of metal cations, ancillary ligands and coordination modes

“…The first route is based on the use of chiral species (chiral linkers or chiral auxiliaries) as structure-directing agents [16][17][18]. The second approach creates chiral compounds from achiral building blocks upon spontaneous resolution using a topological framework construction strategy [19][20][21][22]. Comparing these routes, the use of chiral species is a more direct and effective method to generate chiral compounds because controlling the chirality of the desired product is easier by utilizing the chirality of organic species.…”
